Roughly entails the basic substance of stretchy tissue in the body (7)
I believe the answer is:
elastin
'basic substance of stretchy tissue in the body' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'roughly entails' is the wordplay.
'roughly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'entails' with letters rearranged gives 'ELASTIN'.
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for elastin that I've seen is " protein".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
